New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Yong Yun Lee

December 1, 199892 N.Y.2d 987

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, holding that the trial court did not err in refusing to remove a juror and that the consecutive sentences imposed were proper under Penal Law. The court reasoned that the juror issue was not a "mode of proceedings" error and that the robberies and burglary were separate acts, justifying consecutive imprisonment.
